Intensive Leadership Project- Covid Package
Intensive Leadership Support: This training was delivered as a free support package to schools in Nigeria during covid. As digital learning was at its infancy when the pandemic struck, Golden Links responded to the plight of both the private and public school sectors by offering a 13 week program to support schools in pivoting to online learning. Golden Links went a step further to support some schools with creating an online learning platform.
The aim was to provide services to schools managers to enable these educators understand and minimise the impact of negative threats posed by Covid or turn them into opportunities. This support was offered to 120 schools.
Feedback received from participating schools highlighted the following as the impact of support provided.
